BACKGROUND: The physiological function of fetal hiccups and its correlation with fetal well-being is unexplored. No previous study examines the correlation between the maternal perception of the fetal hiccups and the antepartum cardiotocography.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the correlation between the fetal hiccups and antepartum computerised cardiotocography parameters, in nonlaboring term singleton pregnancies.

| Fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring through computerized cardiotocography (cCTG) analysis antepartum | Diagnostic Test | The investigator conducted antepartum surveillance through computerized cardiotocography (cCTG) analysis antepartum. This is a non-invasive method to study fetal well being. For each patient, a cCTG was attended using a computerized cardiotocography machine. External cCTG was practised for no less than 20 min (max 60 min), two transducers were fixed on the maternal abdomen: one above the fetal heart level and the other at the uterine fundus |

| The primary outcome was the correlation between the fetal hiccups and antepartum computerised cardiotocography parameters, in nonlaboring term singleton pregnancies. | antepartum computerised cardiotocography parameters are the baseline fetal heart rate (Basal FHR), accelerations and decelerations, long-term FHR variation (LTV), short-term FHR variation (STV), episodes of high/low FHR variation and number of fetal movements for an hour (FM) | pre-intervention |
